KETCHUM KEYSTONE.

On Thursday evening brute
named Keeter, who had the reputa-
ton of being of vicious and blood
thirsty disposition, made an unpro-
voked attack upon miner at
Smoky. The victim of the attack
dealt his assailant such a powerful
blow that it had fatal result and
the brute never moved after falling
to the ground. Keeter was a new
conner to the camp and it is not
known where he came from. His
first name was Amos. No arrests
had been made at last accounts
and there is not likely to be. The
above are the only particulars re-
ceived.

mine, and the money of the COM
pany spent in a manner not well
calculated to satisfy the stock
holders in the mine. 1t was the
same old story of extravaganza and
unwise mining. We are pleased to
learn that work is again to be COM
menced on the lode, and that the
mine will be opened in No. style.
That there is good ore in that mine,
the Maggie, st. John and Comstock
there is no doubt. The four lodes
above named are running parallel
and, as we understand, are all
pitching toward one point, where a
shaft sunk or drift run could cut
the lodes where they unite. The
lodes vary in width from four inches
to two feet and produce ore worth
from $500 to $4,000 per ton. Old
miners are of the opinion that
when sufficient depth is attained,
these lodes will unite and make a
large and rich chute of ore. 1t is
to the end of developing the mine,
and proving its value, that the
Pronstite Mining Co. is about to
sink the shaft 100 feet deeper than
it now is. When it shall have
been sunk that much deeper, if the
lodes are not all together, cross
cut will be run to find the other
lodes. The ore formerly extracted
was about as rich in silver as ever
found in this camp, and we are in
formed by a gentleman who worked
in the mine, that there is now
chute of very rich ore in the level
running south. The walls of the
lode are solid and smooth and will
be easily timbered. We also hear
that the Pronstite Mining Company
has purchased the mill erected by
the old company, which will be
placed in good repair and used to
reduce the ores from the mines
above named. The company now
owning the mines and mill seem to
understand that there is a big thing
in the Heneietta group of mines,
and are going to demonstrate the
fact, which, we have no doubt, will
be done to the entire satisfaction of
the stockholders.

SALMON CITY RECORDER.

Sheriff Miller returned home
last Friday night with Gilleran.
He was captured at Big Hole,
Montana. No requisition was nee
essary, it being case ofan escape,
Gilleran has had terrible exper-
fence, his two companions being
drowned by his side and himself
being seven days without sustance
except such as he gathered from
sucking the roots of grass. If
the man has done wrong he has
suffered terribly, and there should
be some end to his punishment.
A Salmon City father objected to
his daughter standing out near the
front gate of an evening and talk
ing with young men, and was quite
indignant few nights ago, when
coming near home, to observe that
she had disobeyed his orders and
was holding pleasant tete-a-tete
with a young man not far from the
paternal mansion. The fathers
indignation rose at once, and he
went for that young fellow, nearly
choking the life out of him,
whereupon the young man, to save
himself, drew a pistol. At this
point the young woman implored
him not to shoot, when the irate
father for the first time discovered
that it was not his daughter that he
was taking such an interest in.

the greatest excitement has prevail
ed in that town for the past few
days over the discovery made of
rich body of ore. While engaged
in digging a we'll, man threw out
quantity of rock, the peculiar ap-
pearance of which attracted his at

pie assay made. The returns
showed a value of $50 in gold and
over $500 in silver. AS soon as the
report of the assay became noised
about the greatest excitement pre-
vailed in the quiet little town.
Every one was busy on the Fourth
of July stalking off claims and when
one was found to overlap another in
any respect the owners of each
would zealously guard their hold
ings until some amicable settle
ment was made. 1t is safe to say
that the national birthday was
never celebrated in SO exciting
a manner before. After all, Hous-
ton may again rise in all its glory
and the Enterprise story of the de-
serted Idaho mining camp be fol-
lowed by another narrative of how
quickly the town has thrown off its
lethargy and become a lively, bus
tling camp once more. 1t is to be
hoped that the rumors of the new
strike have not been magnified.

The closing exercises of the In

Cured last Thursday, June 3Oth.
A large number of visiting Indians
were present, including the chiefs
of both the Shoshones and Ban
nocks. The exercises began with
the distribution of small money
prizes to the scholars who had
proven most proficient in learning
the English language. Peter Gal
lagher, L. @. c. Lamar, May,
Mamie and Annie, Clerk Eckleber-
ger, of the Fort Hall Agency, made
the scholars a speech, as did also
the chief of the Shoshones. Tyhee,
chief of the Bannocks, who is a
very old man, did not arrive in
time to speak. After the speeches
were concluded royal dinner was
and devored with that
keen avidity characteristic of child
hood, whether white, black or red.
The dinner was complete surprise
to the children and is an event long
to be remembered by them.

MALAD CITY ENTERPRISE.

A very serious fracas occurred on
the 4th in which Edward Craig,
formerly miner on Snake River
received an injury which may
prove fatal. 1t appears from what
we can learn that Craig was having
a game of cards in the saloon of
VIM. Jenkins, when some of the
Malad boys are said to have crowd
ed around the table. This irritated
Craig, and he arose from the table
and struck Fred Thomas, Jr., and
they began fighting. They were
soon surrounded by number of
Malad boys who crowded them to
the outside of the saloon, and in the
fight Craig received a very danger
Gus wound on the head, about four
inches above the left ear, from a

was badly crushed and he was

during which time he lost consider
able brain matter. Drs. Sherman
and Drake were called. They pro-
nounce it very dangerous case,

The heat of fire is very liable

The heat of fire is very liable
to put piano out of tune. This is
not due to the expanding and con-
tracing of the strings, but to the
variations produced in the sound
ing boards under the influence of
the increased dryness of the air.
Sounding boards are made of spruce,
because of the superior resonance
of that timber; but spruce, of all
woods, is most affected by changes
of temperature.

But it so happened that am ng the

negative, the matter in dispute being
purely local and personal. On this,
the minority wrote a second time, &C.

With missionaries bones
And the chief of the Glaours, who each morn

And drinks soup out of pan

Though they eat with single they freely com.

With high royal poses, with rings in their noses,
They faunt a receptions and teteS,
And give us the fidgets when with their ten digits

But were these royal caitiffs American natives,

where the small grains are sown.
The soil is then always moister than
it is after laying few days in furrow,
exposed to sun and drying winds.
Unless too wet for good blowing the
newly turned furrow mellowed by
dragging is a better seed bed than it
will be a few days later. All the small
grains require rather cool soil to GER

The few belongings OF this small fam

room, and the three motherless chill
dren began the struggle for self-main-
tenance. The little ones could do
nothing, OF course, 80 the responsible.
ity rested upon the shoulders Of the
14-year-old sister.
The first thing she did after the flu.
neral was to scan the papers for ad.
vertisements in the "help wanted"
columns. She found in an evening
paper an advertisement for q girl to
run a knitting machine. It was from
q well-knoWn firm on prominent
street. She applied and was given g.
job. After she had been there q
couple of days she saw constant
change in the many faces around her.
Girls that were there yesterday morn
ing were not there this morning. But
new girls were engaged.
She began to make inquiries among
che other girls, and found that the
girls left because they could not make
enough to live on. The night of the
second day she determined to see
about it, and she asked the forewopan
for her time, She was given q card
with two days full time credited. She
had made two Jackets and one dozen
bustles in two days. When she pre-
tented the card to the Office she was
sold that she owed the firm 20 cents
balance for the use of the machine and
steam power.
She was credited with 20 cents
apiece for two Jackets CHATS 40
cents), and with 80 cents for the
dozen bustles chats 70 cents). She
was charged As cents day for the use
of machine and steam power CHATS
80 cents), leaving balance of 20
cents due the big firm. At this rate
she would have to pawn her soul at
the end of g. week to pay the firm for
the bad air she breathed while using
the machine and steam power.
This firm keeps standing adver-
tisement in the evening paper, and q
small army of girls pass through the
factory every week. They get the
Jackets and bustles made for nothing
except the wear and tear of the ma
chimes and loss of steam power.

A Memorable Day.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The 9Th of September is the ami
versary of the birth of the Virgin.
A boat-race always took place in Leg
horn in honor OF the day-perhaps
because the Virgin at Santa Maria
Della Navicula presides over the
watery element. An interesting &C.
count of one of these boat.races is
handed down. While bridges. quays,
balconies, windows, towers and roofs
along the river front are filling with
spectators, the contestants in their
little barks are assembling at the
starting point. The prize is fifty lire,
given by the merchants or the town.
At the signal the boats dart forward
amid encouraging cries from thou
sands OF throats. Some clash to-
gether, and their occupants strive to
get free, hurting threats and curses at
each other meanwhile. Soon two are
seen taking the lead, the most skilful
bOatmen on the river, Ignatio and
Michele. A frazier craft follows close
ly. 1t is driven forward by dark,
powerful young fellow, with ribbons
streaming from his shoulders and q
wedding garland bound around him.
He is striving for greater prize
than so lire. The goal is in sight; and
now as he passes q handkerchief fut-
tiers q greeting to him from the en-
bankment. He recognizes the token
and gathers his strength for the final
effort. His hope seems in vain, for
the two in advance maintain their
lead. Suddenly, however, one attempts
to lead off the other. The two boats
dash together; in the ensuing struggle
both drift to one side. The lover sees
his advantage, shoots ahead in the
clear space, and amid loud huzzas
reaches the goal victorious. He re-
ceives the so lire, but the prize for
which he has striven is a rosy-cheeked
girl with dark curling hair, who rushes
forward to greet her hero. She sinks,
half-weeping, haIf-laughing, into his
arms. Her father had promised her
to him in marriage provided he won
the race. He thought his condition
an impossible one to fulfill, for were
not Ignatio and Michele to compete?
But his daughter had prayed to Santa

Basement Walls for Barns,

There are decided advantages in
putting easements under stock barns
aside from the large amount of room
which they cheaply furnish. Look at
any of the early made barns to-day
and we shall find it's stills rotted off
rom nearness to the ground, while
perhaps it's upper timbers may be
sound and good. There is always
considerable manure thrown out from
stock barns in. winter, and if the barn
is not on high walls it's timbers are
likely to be in contact with it, injur-
ing them more in one year than would
result from several years exposure to
the weather.
